    What is a Mortgage Loan Application?

    A mortgage loan application is complete when the lender has received six pieces of information:

    • The applicant’s name
    • Social Security Number (SSN)
    • Income
    • Property address
    • Estimated value of the property and loan amount

    Once these are provided, the lender must deliver a Loan Estimate.

    Loan Estimate (LE)

    The Loan Estimate is a 3-page form explaining your mortgage’s key terms and costs.

    Rules & Regulations

    Lenders must provide applicants with a Loan Estimate within three business days of their application. The LE includes specifics about interest rates, monthly payments, closing costs, and possible rate changes.

    Process

    Submission: Submit the required information.

    Loan Estimate Issuance: Delivered within three business days.

    Review & Shop: Compare offers before moving forward.

    This process promotes transparency and lets you understand your options before committing to anything.
